Located in the exclusive town of Portola Valley. Surrounded by wooded hills, this pristine and picturesque town is located just west of Stanford University in a green and gold valley that feels like you are in the country while being in the heart of the Silicon Valley with easy access to San Francisco and all that it has to offer, Half Moon Bay for the beaches and Lake Tahoe for the summer and winter activities. The Town values its environmental and historic heritage. An extensive trail system, scenic roads, open space and natural views contribute to one's feeling of being in the country, as do architectural guidelines that stress 'blending in.' Commercial activity is encouraged to the extent that it primarily meets needs of residents of the community. These factors have enabled the town to retain a rural ambiance reminiscent of earlier days.
